Ah, ok, thanks, I missed that "M" to "A" change mentioned in mac.bind somehow. I was defining "M-m" in the bind file, and mistaking that to mean "Option-m", but once I defined "A-m" it worked as expected by using "Option-m," and it overrode the system's special character behavior. Thanks a million!
